When gay couples fail to reach happily ever after

Canada's had same-sex marriage on the books for awhile now. Columnist Sarah Hampson explores the challenges such marriages face but also the benefits they have in terms of gender roles.

Oh, and I absolutely understand the 'common-law' relationship vs. marriage 'oh, I'm stuck' thing. I was with my ex-husband for six years, but walked out after only 6 months of marriage. Of course, he is gay, so it was rather necessary. But it took getting married to really give me the trapped feeling of having made a huge mistake and needing to get out of the relationship.
